Recently, I’ve been overwhelmed again by multi-chain wallets and a bunch of small positions… Asset fragmentation isn’t the worst part of losing or gaining; it’s that you simply can’t keep track of which chain still has some small change, or which platform still has a position hanging around. My simple method: every time I enter or exit, I casually record three columns in a spreadsheet—where it’s stored, what source the returns come from, and the worst-case scenario for withdrawing (whether to wait for unlocks / if liquidity is deep enough). Don’t pursue “everything in one wallet”; honestly, the more centralized, the more afraid of something going wrong.

Lately, hardware wallets have been out of stock, and with phishing links being rampant, I prefer to separate “authorization” and “assets”: only keep enough transaction fees in my hot wallet for daily use, and for large transfers, I first do small test transfers. I only access links from my own bookmarks, especially the temporary ones… Forget it, I’d rather miss out. Anyway, managing without chaos = fewer moves, traceability, and the ability to revoke at any time.
